Where do ideas come from?

I used to think - if only there were an ideas tree.

But then it dawned on me that I was missing the point. Ideas are everywhere. The problem is setting your mind into a mode where you can receive them. For me that means getting active. Sit at the keyboard, start writing, see what turns up. It's usually surprising and almost invariably interesting.

Failing that, grab the dog and take her for a walk. Nothing like exercise to get the mind into a receptive state.

I spent most of my life not realising I was a writer. I just thought everybody's minds worked like mine. On some level I had a vague idea that the conversations with people who weren't there might just put me in the crazy category, so I kept quiet. Besides, the people in my head were usually more interesting which was never going to win me friends out there in the reality sphere. Fiction has always seemed to offer more interest than the real world and finally I realised - this is how writers think! Normal people don't have these thoughts. So, I had the imagination and the crazy thoughts. The only thing needed to turn me into a writer was to put pen to paper... Or, in my case, fingers to keypad. Here goes!
